Provision

I am a junior in college and every semester is a challenge to continue trusting God for finances. He always comes through with adequate provision and it’s always on His timing. One way that the Lord provides is with my ability to work and this semester I have extra time before I began my trip to Australia. I’ve already paid my first payment (a miracle!) but the second payment is quickly approaching! I’m doing my best to get as many hours as I can as a waitress but I still have a lot of extra time on my hands. This is where you, the reader of this message comes in. If you are in the Nashville, TN area and are in need (or know someone in need) of a babysitter, pet sitter, house sitter, photographer, or any other odd job you want to throw at me, I would love for you to contact me in the next few weeks! You can do so through facebook, e-mail (rmaupin@live.olivet.edu) or my cell # (615-517-9378). I don’t have a set schedule at my job so I can’t tell you for sure when I would be available but hopefully we can work something out if anyone needs my help for anything!

My God is Greater

Hey All! Thanks for reading my blog :) This is my first time writing one and I'm excited to get started! The main reason for this blog is to keep everyone updated on my trip to Australia next semester. My posts will include lots of pictures (no surprise there) as well as news about my family and the things that God is teaching me throughout this whole adventure. The title of this post is because I wanted to share something that God has been teaching me lately- He is greater than our fears! Honestly, I am scared to death to go halfway around the world by myself and stay in a different country for four months. I'm anxious that as of right now, it looks impossible for me to make this trip financially. I also fear my inadequacies to do the things that God is asking me to do. So why has God called me? Someone that is seemingly overcome by fear? Because it is not about me in the first place and He can overcome my fear! Here's a verse to leave you with before I sign off- Romans 8:15 "For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, Abba, Father."
